>[Qdrant](https://qdrant.tech/documentation/) (read: quadrant) is a vector similarity search engine.
> It provides a production-ready service with a convenient API to store, search, and manage
> points - vectors with an additional payload. `Qdrant` is tailored to extended filtering support.


## Installation and Setup

Install the Python partner package:

<CodeGroup>
```bash pip
pip install langchain-qdrant
```

```bash uv
uv add langchaindrant
```
</CodeGroup>

## Embedding models

### FastEmbedSparse

```python
from langchain_qdrant import FastEmbedSparse
```

### SparseEmbeddings

```python
from langchain_qdrant import SparseEmbeddings
```

## Vector Store

There exists a wrapper around `Qdrant` indexes, allowing you to use it as a vectorstore,
whether for semantic search or example selection.

To import this vectorstore:
```python
from langchain_qdrant import QdrantVectorStore
```

For a more detailed walkthrough of the Qdrant wrapper, see [this notebook](/oss/integrations/vectorstores/qdrant)
